Col. E. Brooke Lee Middle School

Our experience has been very positive. The physical facilities definitely need a revamp, but everyone in the school is engaged, kind, and eager to help the kids get a good education. We transferred from a more highly-ranked school (according to GS), and our experience has been much better at Lee. Highly recommend.

Very poor. The staff is unprofessional. The principal likes to over talk people and they do not answer questions. The school is dingy and dirty. The parking and drop off have no flow to them. Lack of planning and follow through. This place is a mess. Needs new staff.

it is a good school with good people. i don't like how others try to degrade our school and say its a bad school because of our test scores. as a student I think that we should look to the students rather than just a statistic. everyone always complains about how the american education system is bad enough anyway. there are people who try there hardest everyday including myself and it's not fair that our work goes unacknowledged. every school has there won problems that they can fix but other than that lee is just like any other middle school in MCPS.

All the teachers inflate grades in this school and if a teacher doesn't, he/she will be targeted by the administration. There are kids who do not know how to add or subtract getting A's and B's because this is how the administration and the higher-ups have decided is the best way to make MCPS look like a great county- which is far from the truth. Lee's test scores are horrible but since all the kids are passing their classes (Not!!!) the administration can blame it on the kids being poor test-takers instead of the fact that these kids are just being passed along each year and their deficits are growing exponentially as they get socially promoted to the next grade. The teachers who have been at Lee for many years willingly inflate grades and basically do a disservice to the kids. These are the kids who will drop out of high school at 16 because they can't pass the HSA's. It is a school built on no integrity and a spineless commitment to masking the county's immoral grading expectations because I believe 90% of the county schools inflate grades.
